The rest is a matter of being liked, but thats nothing to do with magic, or else the entire Fairy Tail guild would count as Lucy's power, since they all liked her enough to fight it out with Phantom lords for her sake.

But unless Lucy actualy does something with her magical power, then it should not count AS her magical power.
Leo is the equivalent of Interceptor in Final Fantasy 6.

Just in case the reference is lost on some, Interceptor was PC Shadow's dog, who would randomly jump in a fight and maul one enemy for you.

Leo's presence in the material world is derived from Lucy's magic. Otherwise he'd be slowly dying as he was when he lived without a summoner. Sure at one time he acted independently, but now he's basically one of her Pokemon. Only unlike the others he can leave his Pokeball at will which is damn handy since Lucy keeps losing her gorram keys.
